The mugen fluid is listed in CST. They label it as #XXXX but it does not have wt anywhere on the bottle as far as I remember. To them # = CST. I used their brand years ago on my nitro buggies truggies and even used some 50k and 100k Mugen in my Monster truck diffs. If 7000cst is roughly equal to 200,000 "wt" then the 50k/100k mugen I used would have been putty or epoxy, but it wasnt. You are fine using #7000 Mugen in your diff, you dont need to rebuild it.

Another great place to lose a little weight is by going to the cf ackerman bar from SNR. The stock one is quite heavy and it's also in the front of the vehicle, so lightening it with the CF part will also slightly aid in helping keep the truck from nosing over as much.

Also how is the durability on the CF Ackerman bar? I would imagine hard shots to the front wheels could snap it.

I think most of you guys are nuts about this "lightening" the Losi. I bought this just because it was heavier and could take the abuse/bashing of SC racing better. Mine weighs 6 13 and it performs awesome on 2s and 540 motors. Go racing and get off the work bench. Lol

Yep.

Most of the guys here that want their truck to weigh Like a 2wd, mainly run indoor on road carpet or clay, no jumps.
He'll, even Casper said, you can lose some oz's from just upgrading some parts without even really trying

With Aaaron Lane's setup, do you mount the rear camber link to the outer, middle, or inside poition on the TLR aluminum hobs?

Yeah no kidding!!! I thought it felt weird going in but thought oh well! I got the oil from a guy at the local track. I should have paid more attention I guess. Here it is:
